I love this game! But After you get everything done is ringing the gong all that's left to do?

Seems so. I have now 115 villagers - the maximum population, about 20 totems (don't know anymore where to place them)and all the puzzles done. My Gong only changes between "granting food", "taking food", "granting wisdom", "granting health" and "taking health". Nothing changes. My women have pink, purple or green hair :-) So I think that was it.

I CAN'T GET THE LAST PIECE OF GONG FROM THE POOL!!! Its too deep. How do I get it????

You can find detailed solutions to the puzzles here .

YEAH -- I got my last flutterby 2day! Now for the darn last beetle -- and I'll have em all (the collections)

Thank you! My gong is complete, and now I just need a rare pebble and shell and then I will have everything. So I'm almost ready for VV III.
